One of the greatest games I've ever played.
So I just completed idk my 12th playthrough? Honestly I've lost count. I've got Cyberpunk day one. Suffered through all the glitches and crashes with that first playthrough and somehow ended with arguably the best ending... leaving with Panam and Judy. I put it down and didn't really come back to it till Phantom Liberty dropped and since then I keep coming back again and again.
I've done everything you can possibly do in the game. I know everything inside and out and yet I cannot put this game down.
I'm writing this trying to think why this one game has impacted me so much. Cause frankly the only other games that have ever hit me on such a deep personal level like this have been, Max Payne, Resident Evil 4 OG, and The Last of Us.
First and foremost, the game is fun. Loads of fun. Second and third the characters and story draw you in. Personally I fell Corpo V is canon to me mostly cause I've worked a Corpo job in real life. Finally left it last summer and holy fuck as Jackie said, I got my life back. Lastly the music. The music in this game is phenomenal. Everything from the radio hits of Samurai to the haunting melancholy of HEALTH Major Crimes, to the original score that reminds me so much of 90s Anime.
The fact Phantom Liberty as a DLC could stand alone as it's own game is a testament to the writing. Even if I personally think the Tower Ending is the most depressing and worst ending in the game. I felt crushed. But hey thats good writing.
I'm going to end this rant but I think it's going to be a very very long time till another game comes around that is as special to me as Cyberpunk 2077.
